The Ghost of Tourney Past
March 15th, 2010 Steve Schaefer 3 Comments By Steve Schaefer The first Selection Sunday surprise came when Duke rode their ACC title to the third #1 seed, relegating Syracuse to the Salt Lake regional.

Woke Up With West Virginia On My Mind and Other Big East Thoughts
March 13th, 2010 Dave Cooperman 2 Comments By Dave Cooperman While a few days off from hoops will certainly benefit our trio of banged up stars (Arinze, Wes and KJ) it is providing no benefit for those of us who were anticipating a full weekend of action.

March 11th, 2010 Tim Schlittner 1 Comment By Tim Schlittner Leave it to the Championship Week media feeding frenzy to create an enormous non-story. ESPN.com’s lead headline is “Did Cuse Spit Seed?” Cleverly written. But substantively garbage.

March 11th, 2010 Zach Lowe No Comments By Euclid 419er It’s got nothing to do with a groundhog, lions or lambs or a date on a calendar. You know spring has sprung when Syracuse takes the floor for the first time in the Big East Tournament. With the return to relevancy of the Syracuse/Georgetown rivalry, this particular first day of Spring [...]

Sticky Ricky!
March 9th, 2010 Zach Lowe 2 Comments By Euclid 419er Sports Illustrated’s Seth Davis put together his annual “All-Glue Team” and lo and behold, there’s Rick Jackson, 6-9 forward, Philly native, humanitarian.
